When it comes to Christmas weather and ornaments, you think
of scenes with snow and snowmen. Hallmark included one of those
elements, a snowman, with Olaf In Summer, but the season is all wrong, and I
love it so much for that.

Olaf, of course, is the living snowman from Disney’s Frozen, and in my favorite song of the
film, he confesses his desire for warmth and dreams about what life will be
like when he gets to experience summer. I just loved the humor of it
since, obviously, he would melt long before summer came
around. Okay, there’s also the fact that I get cold easily so I live
for summer as well.

This ornament captures Olaf enjoying that dreamed about
season. He’s standing in a field of grass about to pick and smell a purple
flower. Yes, it’s really that simple, but so is his dream of
experiencing warmth. (And really, who can blame him?)

Since this ornaments is a bit of a small scene, you’ll find
that it has a nice, flat base. That means you can enjoy Olaf in
summer, winter…really any time of the year.

Unfortunately, when you go to hang him from your Christmas
tree, you’ll find that he tips slightly. It’s not that surprising
since the hook is on top of his head, but the meadow spreads out before
him. With the hook off center, the ornament will tip most of the
time. Considering the design of the ornament, I’m not quite sure
what Hallmark could have done about that.

But here is where they missed a golden
opportunity. Remember that song I mentioned earlier? Why
isn’t a clip from it included in this ornament? Okay, so it’s not
the most popular song (or second most popular song) from Frozen, but I still think it would have made a nice addition to
this ornament. Yes, I’m biased since I loved the song, but it would
have put this ornament over the top for me.

While they missed the chance for perfect, Hallmark still has
a winner on their hands with Olaf In Summer. This is an ornament
that will make any fan of the movie smile. I know it does for me.
